have u noticed how most people have no powers of concentration?
    #7587872 - 11/02/07 01:28 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

it,s amazing people can even pass basic college exams, it seems like every 2 minutes people pop their heads up from the books or computer screens and look around for no reason
another annoying thing is when people just sit and stare around, not even reading or listening to music,like real life Zombies

There's a thing some of us do...it's called thinking...and we don't necessarily want to stare at the book we're reading (or computer we're on) when we're doing it :wink:

I look up from the book I'm reading (if it's non-fiction) quite often to mull over a point. Sometimes, when I'm just thinking for thinking's sake, I'll stare off into space and not really see what it is I'm looking at (my visual cortex is busy elsewhere).

when i do that, i am concentrating on everything i can that is around me. it is an exercise of concentration, if you will.

but i think what you are talking about is the greatly reduced attention span of the average american these days, perpetuated by the ever-increasing pace of TV. yes, it is despicable.

I dunno. Maybe those people are in deep thoughts...

I wouldn't know. When I'm studying by myself I usually walk around the library in a daze mumbling like a nut when I'm doing some thinking, then walk back to my table to write.

I just can't sit still, it probably annoys the hell out people.

There's nothing wrong with stopping and looking around. I pity anyone who needs constant stimulation, and can't take a minute now and then to just exist and observe their thoughts.

Stopping and looking around is one thing. But it seems people do have shit for attention spans these days.. I blame TV and our instant gratifcation society.

it's called ADD? So many people have it these days.. I stare off into space when I think sometimes but I have a very good attention span. I think it's weird that you get annoyed by that.

ADD/ADHD is fake, it doesn't exist and is a cop out for the most part.

this is addressed to the people who see television as the primary evil.
the internet is much worse when it comes to instant gratification and shortening of attention spans.
I don't watch television anymore but my internet usage is still several hours a day, I'm sure it'll have a negative affect in the long run.
